DOI: 10.1007/s00265-021-02968-8
Abstract: The possibility that sexual selection promotes adaptive evolution in variable environments remains controversial. In particular, where the scale of environmental variation results in parents and their offspring experiencing different environmental conditions, such variation is expected… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-017-3851-2
Abstract: Slow bee paralysis virus (SBPV)—previously considered an obligate honeybee disease—is now known to be prevalent in bumblebee species. SBPV is highly virulent in honeybees in association with Varroa mites, but has been considered relatively benign… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/conphys/coac069
Abstract: Body condition-dependent risk-taking is observed in many animal taxa but is little explored in cetaceans. We used model simulations to explore how uncertainties surrounding this behaviour and the metabolic physiology of deep-diving cetaceans may be… read more here.

Abstract: Anthropogenic noise is a pollutant of global concern that has been shown to have a wide range of detrimental effects on multiple taxa. However, most noise studies to-date consider only overall population means, ignoring the… read more here.

Effects of nutrient limitation on sperm and seminal fluid: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

DOI: 10.1111/brv.12524
Abstract: Theory predicts that costly sexual traits should be reduced when individuals are in poor condition (i.e. traits should exhibit condition‐dependent expression). It is therefore widely expected that male ejaculate traits, such as sperm and seminal… read more here.

Effects of genetic vs. environmental quality on condition‐dependent morphological and life history traits in a neriid fly

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14014
Abstract: Condition is assumed to reflect both genes and environment, enabling condition‐dependent signals to reveal genetic quality. However, because the phenotypic effects of variation in genetic quality could be masked by environmental heterogeneity, the contribution of… read more here.

Computation of condition-dependent proteome allocation reveals variability in the macro and micro nutrient requirements for growth

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007817
Abstract: Sustaining a robust metabolic network requires a balanced and fully functioning proteome. In addition to amino acids, many enzymes require cofactors (coenzymes and engrafted prosthetic groups) to function properly. Extensively validated resource allocation models, such… read more here.

Abstract: The peroxidase activity of hemin-peptide complexes remains a potential factor in oxidative damage relevant to neurodegeneration. Here, we present the effect of temperature, ionic strength, and pH relevant to pathophysiological conditions on the dynamic equilibrium… read more here.
